Coming out in May is this unknown 70's gem. First time released on DVD/Blu-Ray and also the first time it been release to the public since the video release in the 1980's comes The Black Panther. The Black Panther is a dark thriller based on true event in 1974, A gung-ho ex-military man named Dennis Neilson who pursues a secret life of crime, culminating in the kidnapping of a teenage heiress for only the ransom goes wrong. On it release in 1977, The Black Panther had caused controvesy due to the case was only after a year when it happened. The Black Panther was written by cult filmmaker Michael Armstrong (Mark of the Devil & Eskimo Nell) and directed by Ian Merrick. Merrick creates tension in slow but intensed style like how Neilson prepares his crimes to every detail. It's like how The Day of The Jackal was directed. Great performances from the cast, from Donald Stumper was plays Nelison creates a dark tension from how he treats his family in a military fashion to how he deals with the rich heiress. I would highly recommend this film to everyone.

Stalker is dark atmospheric horror thriller debut by writer/director Martin Kemp. Kemp is known for being 80's band Spantau Ballet and starring in Eastenders and The Krays. Stalker is inspired by the cult 1975 video nasty Expose which starred Linda Hayden, Udo Kier, Fiona Richmond. The only difference between the two films is that Stalker is less sleazy than Expose as Stalker isn't.

Here's an interview from Martin Kemp

Stalker is an atmospheric thriller about an award winning writer Paula Martin, (Anna Brecon) after having a nervous breakdown stays at this isolated countryhouse to finishs off writing her second novel with help with her PA (Jane March)who is hired by Paula Editor to help takes the pressures off.

But as the story develops, all is not as it seems. Is Linda a serial killer who's been stalking Paula for years? With slimy journalist Robert Gainer (Billy Murray) seemingly on a mission to ruin Paula with a story of her breakdown, it's left to her analyst Leo Fox (Colin Salmon) to race to her rescue... but will he arrive in time?

This is directoral debut from actor and Spantau Ballet star Martin Kemp as a film it very atmosperic and great performance from Anna Brecon and the underrated Jane March (The Lover). Also you will find veteran actress Linda Hayden who was in the original film ExposeAlso you will find veteran actress Linda Hayden who was in the original film Expose playing the house-keeper.

The violence in the film very well put together for the budget of £100,000 and made in one location without it being boring.

I would highly recommend this film to anyone who like their thrillers and violence.

Check out the scene from the original film Expose starring Linda Hayden.
